Boston Police Officers Cleared In Violent Arrest

The Boston police officers captured on video repeatedly striking a teenage suspect at Roxbury Community College last October did not use excessive force and will face no criminal charges, authorities announced yesterday. "Like many others who saw them, I was initially disturbed by the video clips of the Oct. 22 arrest,'' Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said in prepared remarks at a press conference yesterday at his office in downtown Boston.
